What class you used for the 'sample text - 1' textbox?
By default, MyBB uses .textbox (input.textbox) class, and XThreads uses that class too.
If you use your own class, maybe you need to edit your threadfields_inputrow template (in Global Templates).
For example:

HTML Code

<tr> <td class="{$altbg}" width="20%"><strong>{$tf['title']}</strong></td> <td class="{$altbg} myinput">{$inputfield}<small style="display: block;">{$tf['desc']}</small></td> </tr>

---

and add this class to your global.css:

Code:

.myinput .textbox { font-size: 24px; }

The textarea (both columns) are in newthread and editpost template.
But, if you remove it from that templates, the textarea will be removed for other forums too, not for your Product Review forum only.
That's why you need to create a new newthread template with prefix. So, the textarea will be removed from your Product Review forum only.
The prefix must be the same as what Template Prefix you use for your Product Review forum.

As long as you use the same prefix with your forum's Template Prefix, XThreads will "connects" it automatically.

They are part of Custom Thread Fields settings.
Maybe you can look at the Testimonial example application:
http://mybbhacks.zingaburga.com/showthread.php?tid=567
It uses a custom newthread and editpost template (xttes_newthread and xttes_editpost_first templates), you can see the screenshots.
We use xttest_ as prefix for those templates because we use xttest_ as Template Prefix for the Testimonial forum. And XThreads will "connects" it automatically for us.

Thank you for the references and info !

Edited the 'threadfields_inputrow', per attachment-1, and seemed to have fixed the formatting per attachment-2.  Basis for most classes is from 'standard' MyBB classes chart got from http://community.mybb.com/thread-33809.html

1. attachment-4 is the template am assuming to edit and save as cc_newthread' (the cc being the 'template prefix' per attachment-3 ? ) ?

Actually in this PR forum, there shouldnt be replies, only editing of original posts, so may need to edit #1. template to delete 'reply' display ?

Thanks again for your help !
